70°. Clinical solution What is the optimal cup orientation for an individual patient? OPS™ is a state-of-the-art technology platform that delivers potential target orientations unique for each individual. These target orientations are calculated from a dynamic pre-operative functional simulation, which accounts for the patient's physiological profile throughout a range of daily activities.

2 Delivery Clinical issue Intra-operative tools It is inherently difficult to position the cup during surgery and achieving a target position is a considerable challenge in THR. It has been shown that up to 50% of surgeries miss the intended orientation and the chance of hitting a target to within 5°...

Every patient moves differently, and the amount of pelvic tilt through functional activities should be accounted for with total hip replacement . OPS™ is designed to optimally orientate a cup within a safe zone, and for the cup to remain within that safe zone as the pelvis rotates throughout functional activity.
